Bird cleared but embarrassed

An embarrassed Greg Bird will make his return from suspension for Gold Coast on Friday after the club cleared him of any wrongdoing following an early morning domestic violence complaint.

Police were called to Bird's Miami residence at 2:00am (AEST) on Sunday after a neighbour reported a verbal dispute and a 23-year-old woman was ordered to attend court on Monday.

Both Bird and the woman are understood to have resolved the matter and neither are pressing charges.

The Titans investigated the incident and said there was no reason to discipline the Australia and New South Wales representative.

News Limited reported police sources saying the woman was believed to have gone to Bird's residence, woken him up and tried to get in and Bird reportedly suffered a minor injury in a scuffle.

Police later applied for a domestic violence order against the woman.

Bird is understood to be embarrassed about the matter and was taken by surprise when reporters attempted to quiz him before Titans training on Monday morning.

The 27-year-old will make his return from a one-week ban, for striking Canberra half-back Matt Orford, against the Wests Tigers on Friday night at Skilled Park.

He could be selected at either five-eighth or the back row when the team is named on Tuesday.

The Titans also hope to have lock Ashley Harrison back from injury with second rower Anthony Laffranchi set to miss the match due to an ankle injury sustained in the 22-12 loss to North Queensland in Townsville.
